    I think so. Think he'd fit the squad we have. Big clubs have trusted him with loan players.

    You can't judge a coach based on where they have been, doing that is archaic thinking that i'm glad is being removed from the game.

    I personally like Jobe deep. Give him the ball facing the goal and let him progress it forward either with a pass or by carrying it himself. Look at his goal vs Plymouth for example. I don't think his back to goal game is good enough for the 9 or the 10 positions in a possession heavy side, could see him as a 9 or a 10 in a counter attacking side though.

    Jobe looks like an 8 to me, he's not quite as quick-footed or skilful as you'd like to see for a 10 and we've not really seen him play as a 6 that much, but he seems to be a balanced midfielder which suggests an 8, a bit of both.

    It's my theory that he's slow because he's not yet used to lugging around his frame and will get sharper. Looks like the mind is willing but the body isn't quite in sync.

    Wouldn't be the end of the world if he never becomes quick as long as he learns how to use his strength effectively, but I expect him to speed up with time and training.

    Would be on a hiding to nothing if we lost our first few games.

    Is that your theory or have you read that somewhere before?

    I don’t see it personally. His movement is alright but he’s quite slow, finishing isn’t great and you wouldn’t back him in a 1v1 situation. Scoring tap ins is only one part of the equation imo. If he was as good of a 9 as we’d like to think he is then why have we all been crying out for a striker all season when he’s played the majority of it there. Difficult one to be honest I’ve still no idea what his best position is

    Not sure myself. Said earlier we have a lot of generalists who need to nail down their best position/role and he is one of them.

    From what I've seen there might be a forward there, just not sure what sort.

    Still so damn young.

    I am getting worried about the time taken. Have been for a while, but this last week hasnt been positive. I thought after the weekend we would see some relatively quick news.

    I think we are heading into the territory of harming our own chances next season now. Players are choosing where to play right now. Players want a coach to talk to before making a decision. In particular experienced ones. They interviee the coach on how he sees them fitting in, their demands expectations etc.

    Rigg delaying, if true, is no great surprise. Who on here would sign a contract if you didnt know who your boss was going to be?

    Time is ticking away fast...

    There's a reason sprinters start winning medals in their 20's. You could be right.

    However, I might have just made that up about sprinters. So you could be wrong.

    Friend of mine watches league two football said they were class. Exciting, play good attacking football and score plenty of goals.

    Only thing that worries me about Chalinor is how long he spent on non league football. He’s been decent at Stockport but they do have a sizeable budget. Almost gets forgotten about because of Wrexham but they’re in a fairly comfortable financial position themselves, remember them signing Paddy Madden from Fleetwood when he was their top scorer in L1 and they were in non-league.
